Isaiah 48
1 Hear ye this, O house of Jacob, Who are called by the name of Israel, And from the waters of Judah came out, Who are swearing by the name of Jehovah, And of the God of Israel make mention, Not in truth nor in righteousness.
Poslušajte to, oh hiša Jakobova, ki ste imenovani z imenom Izrael in ste izšli iz Judovih vodá, ki prisegate pri Gospodovem imenu in omenjate Izraelovega Boga, vendar ne v resnici niti ne v pravičnosti.
2 For from the Holy City they have been called, And on the God of Israel been supported, Jehovah of Hosts [is] His name.
Kajti imenujejo se po svetem mestu in se naslanjajo na Izraelovega Boga; Gospod nad bojevniki je njegovo ime.
3 The former things from that time I declared, And from my mouth they have gone forth, And I proclaim them, Suddenly I have done, and it cometh.
Razglasil sem prejšnje stvari od začetka in izšle so iz mojih ust in pokazal sem jih; nenadoma sem jih naredil in zgodile so se.
4 From my knowing that thou art obstinate, And a sinew of iron thy neck, And thy forehead brass,
Ker sem vedel, da si trdovratna in je tvoj vrat železna kita in tvoja obrv bron,
5 And I declare to thee from that time, Before it cometh I have caused thee to hear, Lest thou say, 'Mine idol hath done them, And my graven image, And my molten image did command them.
sem ti to celo od začetka razglasil; preden se je zgodilo, sem ti to pokazal, da ne bi rekla: ›Moj malik jih je naredil, moja rezana podoba in moja ulita podoba jim je zapovedala.‹
6 Thou hast heard, see the whole of it, And ye, do ye not declare? I have caused thee to hear new things from this time, And things reserved that ye knew not.
Slišal si, videl si vse to in ali ne boš tega razglasil? Od tega časa sem ti pokazal nove stvari, celo skrite stvari in ti jih nisi poznal.
7 Now they have been produced and not from that time, Yea, before the day, and thou hast not heard them, Lest thou say, 'Lo, I have known them.'
Sedaj so ustvarjene in ne od začetka; celo pred dnevom, ko jih nisi slišal, da ne bi rekel: »Glej, poznal sem jih.«
8 Yea, thou hast not heard, Yea, thou hast not known, Yea, from that time not opened hath thine ear, For I have known thou dealest treacherously, And 'Transgressor from the belly,' One is crying to thee.
Da, ne slišiš; da, ne poznaš; da, od tistega časa, ko tvoje uho ni bilo odprto, kajti vedel sem, da boš postopal zelo zahrbtno in si bil od maternice imenovan prestopnik.
9 For My name's sake I defer Mine anger, And My praise I restrain for thee, So as not to cut thee off.
Zaradi svojega imena bom odložil svojo jezo in zaradi svoje hvale se bom zadržal, da te ne odsekam.
10 Lo, I have refined thee, and not with silver, I have chosen thee in a furnace of affliction.
Glej, prečistil sem te, toda ne s srebrom; izbral sem te v talilni peči stiske.
11 For My sake, for Mine own sake, I do [it], For how is it polluted? And Mine honour to another I give not.
Zaradi sebe, celó zaradi sebe, bom to storil, kajti kako bi bilo moje ime umazano? In svoje slave ne bom dal drugemu.
12 Hearken to me, O Jacob, and Israel, My called one, I [am] He, I [am] first, and I [am] last;
Prisluhni mi, oh Jakob in Izrael, moj poklicani; jaz sem; jaz sem prvi, jaz sem tudi zadnji.
13 Also, My hand hath founded earth, And My right hand stretched out the heavens, I am calling unto them, they stand together.
Moja roka je tudi položila temelj zemlji in moja desnica je razpela nebo. Ko kličem k njima, skupaj vstaneta.
14 Be gathered all of you, and hear, Who among them did declare these things? Jehovah hath loved him, He doth His pleasure on Babylon, And His arm [is on] the Chaldeans.
Vsi vi, zberite se in poslušajte; kdo izmed njih je razglasil te stvari? Gospod ga je ljubil. Storil bo, kar mu ugaja nad Babilonom in njegov laket bo na Kaldejcih.
15 I — I have spoken, yea, I have called him, I have brought him in, And he hath made prosperous his way.
Jaz, celó jaz, sem govoril. Da, poklical sem ga. Privedel sem ga in svojo pot bo naredil uspešno.
16 Come ye near unto me, hear this, Not from the beginning in secret spake I, From the time of its being, there [am] I, And now the Lord Jehovah hath sent me, and His Spirit.
Pridite blizu k meni, poslušajte to; od začetka nisem govoril na skrivnem; od časa, ko je to bilo, tam jaz sem. In sedaj me je poslal Gospod Bog in njegov Duh.«
17 Thus said Jehovah, thy redeemer, The Holy One of Israel, 'I [am] Jehovah thy God, teaching thee to profit, Causing thee to tread in the way thou goest.
Tako govori Gospod, tvoj Odkupitelj, Sveti Izraelov: »Jaz sem Gospod, tvoj Bog, ki te učim, da boš imel koristi, ki te vodim po poti, po kateri naj bi šel.
18 O that thou hadst attended to My commands, Then as a river is thy peace, And thy righteousness as billows of the sea,
Oh, da bi prisluhnil mojim zapovedim! Potem bi bil tvoj mir kakor reka in tvoja pravičnost kakor morski valovi.
19 And as sand is thy seed, And the offspring of thy bowels as its gravel, Not cut off nor destroyed his name before Me.
Tudi tvojega semena bi bilo kakor peska in potomstvo tvoje notranjosti podobno njegovemu gramozu; njegovo ime ne bi bilo odrezano niti uničeno izpred mene.
20 Go out from Babylon, flee from the Chaldeans, With a voice of singing declare, Cause ye this to be heard, Bring it forth unto the end of the earth, Say, Redeemed hath Jehovah His servant Jacob.
Pojdite naprej iz Babilona, pobegnite od Kaldejcev, z glasom petja razglasite, povejte to, izustite to celó do konca zemlje. Recite: › Gospod je odkupil svojega služabnika Jakoba.‹
21 And they have not thirsted in waste places, He hath caused them to go on, Waters from a rock he hath caused to flow to them, Yea, he cleaveth a rock, and flow do waters.
Niso bili žejni, ko jih je vodil skozi puščave. Zanje je vodam veleval, da tečejo iz skale. Razklal je tudi skalo in iz nje so pridrle vode.
22 There is no peace, said Jehovah, to the wicked!
Tam ni miru, « govori Gospod, »zlobnemu.«
